I've had this generator sitting in a box for almost 3 years and just pulled it out because of an impending hurricane. Due to the fact that it is electric start, I did not think that after three years the battery would still crank it up. Long story short, I put it together, filled the reservoir with oil, put fuel in it, hit the start button, and it started right up. It hasn't been hours tested, but I am impressed with the fact that it started after sitting for so long.
So far, so good. Arrived packed by the factory perfectly. All parts were there and it was not damaged. Large instruction booklet. Generator will last many years. Runs great!
Had generators in the past that were hard to start especially with my physical limitations. This was a life saver and even has a remote start and stop so I can operate from inside my house.
Purchased for emergency back up power. Starts easily and runs (relatively) quietly. Produces enough power for the items I need to have running at all times
